Istation Classroom Summary Report
What information is provided on the report?
- ISIP Assessment Overall Score
- Lexil Level
- Current Cycle
- Reading Curriculum Report
What is a "Cycle"?
Istation pushes lessons or "cycles" to our students based on their assessments. The classroom summary will show an update every time a student moves on to a new cycle. You will find a copy in your mailbox on what is being taught to each of our students in that cycle.
Tip: You will also see on this report different areas that are being worked on with the student in the each cycle with icons indicating how the student is doing. *Green checks do not mean student is performing on grade level, but at there individual lexis level.
**Please watch the video to learn how to find the classroom summary report and for more information.

Usage Reminder
Tier 2 students need 60 minutes per week.
Tier 1 students need 30 minutes per week.
Tips for minutes:
- Have students use this as a literature station twice a week.
- Have students instead of going to breakfast one time a week go to the library for homework help. If they do give them Cougar Cash for incentive!
